An investigation report should always

• A. Argue the case forcefully
• B. Include irrelevant data
• C. Communicate facts in a logical and clear manner
• D. Be written only by security supervisors

Answer: (C)

Clear, factual reporting is essential because a hospital investigation must accurately describe what happened, what evidence was gathered, and what conclusions and actions follow, so others can understand and act on it. A well-structured report presents information in a logical sequence—purpose, timeline, involved people, evidence, witness statements, findings, and recommendations—without bias or irrelevant details. This makes the report credible and usable for investigations, disciplinary decisions, or legal review. Saying the report should argue a case or include irrelevant data undermines trust, and restricting authorship to security supervisors unnecessarily limits who can document events. So, communicating facts in a logical and clear manner is the best approach.
